IT will be today - barring natural disaster. There is a lot to do to verify everthing is ready...It will be a handful of hours or two...but I don't think we will be flirting with midnight EDT. Depends on how things go down the stretch... We are making good progress.

About how long will it take to down load this patch? Are there any plans to have some company put out a CD patch, sine EZGamer went out of business. I'm not too savy when it comes to this download stuff (I initially
got a copy of the SPW@W). Thanks

A lot will depend on your connection. A broadband connection puts you in the money - a 56k or slower modem, and you should plan on picking up your download tomorrow morning. Maybe kick off the download before bed. I read somewhere on another thread that there is some software out there on the web that MAtrix reccomends that can help speed up the download process for both types of connections...

The patch will be a Major Event for a straight stick Modem user - probably on the order of 20+ hours. If you have broadband it should be on the order of 1-2 hours.
If you can find another EZGamer like outfit, let us know. Otherwsie CDs in the Magazines and to some extent, good samaritans like Epicurious, will be the limit of CD distro...

Paul, you know as well as I do that most of us will not wait. The forums will be relatively quiet once the word is issued. However, expect a rush on the downlaoad sites. For you guys anxiously waiting for the word (including me), DO NOT expect a quick resolution once you start trying to download this update. You might as well catch up on your reading, relations with your family, etc. The forums will light up again, say, around Mon. or Tues., IF the thing is set to go sometime today.

Sorry. working these huge files means things take horrendous amounts of time. Anytime there is a glitch means several hours get wasted. Its taking a little longer than we thought.
Please bear with us...we will let you know ...
